2022 Winter Olympics

[Maladict]

Apparently we're having the Olympics in about two weeks. Who knew?

[Razgovory]

We should boycott them.

[Grey Fox]

I knew because I love Olympics.

[Gaijin de Moscu]

I don't watch olympics, but I knew because there was some talk of boycott or some such.

[Duque de Bragança]

Does the NHL "boycott" the Winter Olympics by not allowing the players to go for the ice hockey tournament?

[DGuller]

At least nothing should happen in Ukraine during the Winter Olympics, that's the only exciting part about them.

I always like the Winter Olympics but it's a very different vibe. With the Summer Olympics I'm always just amazed and in awe of what the athletes are doing physically, with the Winter Olympics there's more terror - I find things like luge and skeleton and ski jumping vicariously very stressful.

Plus they're sports - unlike, say, swimming, athletics, gymnastics - where I just don't really understand how they talent spot. I don't get how you discover you're a really good tobogganist.

And I've already checked out the curling schedule

We should boycott them.

Only pariah states want to host them any more.

The next Olympics are in France, Italy and the USA.

[garbon]

No thank you.

[Rex Francorum]

Don't care about Olympics, even if I prefer the Winter one.

From what I've read they do seem to be taking a positive turn with Tokyo and the coming winter Olympics potentially being the last of the dark age of peak capitalism.
Paris plans to use a lot of existing facilities with a minimum of new construction.
